Gillian Matthews, the female lead in my romance novel, The Reunion, has had a successful career as an artist and a little fame to go along with it. Her personal life, however, has been a disappointment. She has a knack for getting involved with the wrong men. That will change when travels to Denver for a gallery opening, and man from her past will suddenly reappears.

Ian Palmer is the one man she never got over. They soon resume their relationship, but her world will shatter once again when something unexpected occurs behind the scenes. She’ll later become the object of affection from a new, and much younger man, while Ian attempts to win her back for a third time.

Gillian was inspired by a real person. Me. I was a graphic designer before I became a writer, and we’ll just say that my personal life given me some great fodder to work with.

Architect Ian Palmer appears in most of my romance novel, The Reunion as a middle-aged man. He’s had a successful career, working his way to a prestigious position with a large firm. His personal life, however, has been less than stellar. He married the wrong woman for the wrong reasons, and the marriage ended badly. Now his life is about to change. He has a second chance with Gillian, his long-lost love, but his new-found happiness will soon be put to the test. Ian struggles to balance Gillian, parenthood, and his career, which is about to come to an unexpected and untimely end.

Ian also appears in the story as a young man. During the flashback chapters he’s an outgoing but ambitious college student who meets Gillian, the girlfriend of one of his classmates. The two quickly become friends. Later on, they become more than friends. Unfortunately, Ian’s ambition and desire to succeed will be their undoing. This younger Ian who was inspired by someone I once knew, years ago, which is why Ian will always be one of my favorite characters. There are some people who we never forget.
